Mini meals are a recommended way to eat when trying to lose weight. You are not depriving yourself to the point that you're hungry, and you eat throughout the day without feeling bogged down or tired. Mini meals also help to speed up your body's metabolism (which is the rate at which your body burns calories). By eating smaller meals throughout the day, your body knows that it is constantly going to be nourished and therefore burns calories instead of storing most of them.
Water makes up half our adult body weight and provides a medium for all of the body's fluids which are vital for breathing, digestion and metabolism. The only thing more important than water for our body is the consumption of air. Water balances the acids in the body and carries nutrients into all the body's cells and is essential for removing waste from cells. When you don't drink enough water, problems such as dehydration, sore muscles, joints and digestive inefficiency can occur. It doesn't matter whether you are dieting or not, you should drink at least eight 8 ounce glasses of water per day.
